i have a 95 mustang gt and i want to add some horsepower to it any advice on where to start

[The Novice]

Whats your price range?

You could put on new heads ( give you usually the best HP gains ) And/ or a new intake.

Or if your just looking for something a little less time consuming and adding a little HP. You could just do a full exhuast. Long Tube headers O/R( No Cats) H-Pipe or X-Pipe and Magnaflow exhaust.

Or if ya got some money and want to go really fast you could get nitrous.

Also this wont improve HP but its usually the best bang for your buck - Putting new gears in your rear end. Like 3.73's Usually work great. And they will help you gett of the line better and your car will have better pickup on the low end. Just some idea's.

What do you want to use your car for? Street, track, both? And whats price range you looking at?

determine goals first... decide what you can and cant afford/do... go from there... Im assuming you are looking for just bolt on suggestions...

gears help alot, CAI, if you have m the money... definately heads, cam, intake...

nitrous...

[BB Service]

Nitrous is cheap at first but can get expensive after a while. With every bottle refill, that money could have gone towards other modifications that could give you more power in the end.

In your case, nitrous may be the way to go

So what you are trying to say is you think that heads and intake would be cheaper and more power than NOS?...I have to disagree with your thinking on that one...You need to first decide on a budget how much you want to spend and the part about what you want to do well thats kind of a dumb question you want to do what we all want to do...go fast....but decide how you want to do it ex: boost, NOS, stroker, etc....being that you have a 95 our cars dont respond well to mods so you will need to tune it for the mods that you add so its better if you do them all at once and get a good tune...there are a lot of good guys with first hand experience on here that guided me through getting my motor together....I went with a 347 stoker wiith trickflow heads and intakes and a custom cam and all the bolt ons or supporting mods...take your time and dont be afraid to ask questions but dont just listen to anyone....you will find out the people that know what they are talking about...I learned a lot from them you can buy the most expensive parts available and not get the right combo and you will still be slow....knowing the combo is the main thing and the second main thing with our cars (95's) is getting a good tune good luck and welcome to the site

Dont put words im my mouth.Thats not what i said at all. I was saying heads usually give you the best HP gain out of any N/A parts. you can gain up to 50HP with heads it what i was saying.

Also not everyone is a fan of NOS, so i was giving him options, i also didnt know his budget.

And the part about me asking him what he wants to do with is car, and you calling it a dumb questions. I dont really think its that dumb. Ive ment people with 5.0's who like to drift, some who like rally style racing, he might want to do 1/4 or 1/8. Or maybe he just wants it to be his DD with a little extra kick. With knowing so little from his first post, i dont think its really a dumb question to ask what he wants to do with his car.

Not putting words in your mouth but the reply you left would suggest that heads would be less expensive. Take it easy this was not a personal attack on you. He stated clearly what he WANTED to do in his post: add some horsepower. I dont think a mustang would be a good choice for a rally car or drift but maybe so. Just out of curiosity you said that heads add up to 50 HP what heads are you running on your car to base this off of. I was not attacking you personally but every time I turn around there is a new person on here that just asked this quesion 3 or 4 weeks ago. What mods should I do on my car? and then a couple of weeks and a couple of posts and now they are giving the advice to others. I started on this site about a year ago and had everyone throwing this stuff at me and luckilly I met a few people here that talked me out of the route that the normal newbies like to suggest the h/c/i trickflow setup yeah its a good set up but I changed the choice of the heads to a better flowing c01 head and track heat mani and jay allen did my cam. now my car is still having everything done waiting on getting a couple of parts and my cage and having time to do it all but you dont hear me saying this is the best or this is not....I say i was told or I know someone who has this. When I have it running then I can say hey this setup runs great compared to other setups i have tried or it runs like crap.. Just seems to be a lot of newbies on here giving professional advice and they are still driving the same bone stock mustang that they were asking the famous what should I do question about a few weeks prior...sorry if you took this as an attack on you but its not...

yeah it could have seemed that way, brand new heads no, but ive come across some nice TFS heads for under $800 before, but its all about quality.

Obviously We know NOS will ad the most HP for its price, but some people dont like to do it, and i dunno how he feels about nitrous in a car that has Hypereutectic pistons.

I am running Roush 200 heads, But about the Heads HP gain. I read a guy who tested the stock E7 heads VS. AFR 195's.(Although they might not even use E7 heads on the SN95's) But i believe it had other mods and im sure it had an upgraded fuel system. But it was just his word, and its the internet so it could have been wrong, But those are quite large heads VS. Stock i would espect at least 40HP gain.

Im sorry there are "noobs" that post on an online public forum, but man its a forum the nice thingabout it is that you get to hear everyone's opinion. Some know more than others but the best thing is when you read them you learn more and more about the cars and you can pass it on to others. I ask peoples opinions all the time. i never see the harm in thinking out loud. And if your asking about me asking " what mods should i do " the only thing i asked was about a Custom Grind Cam. My car is hardly stock. Sure ive probably asked more questions then given answers, but the nice thing about this place is you can take what others have shown and told you and pass it on to the next guy.

Im not mad or anything...Its just been a really long shitty day and im sorry if i seemed to of vented on you.

[95StangMX]

first off i know its a public forum and I am not down talking the noobs that post here nor was i really talking down on the advice you posted just saying it might have been a little misleading for someone fresh into the game. I have also kept up with most of your posts and you are not the normal professional noob that I am referring to I just find it humorous to see people make posts about oh you need this or do that and this is the best and you ask them what they have or had to compare it to and they say oh well I read or my friend has...once again not referring to you ... just say it from the get go well I dont know personally but I heard ________what do you think about it. I have had several mustangs and tried a few combos but this is my first "big" build. By that I mean my others were basic bolt ons and one I had the classic gt 40 h/c/i combo with an alphabet cam....but when people ask me questions or I answer questions about strokers and whatever I say well I am building and I have heard and I will let you know how it turns out. I guess I kinda vented in this thread a little too so dont worry about it. Just the other day I seen one of the regular "professional noobs" tell someone the 347 stroker garbage about the oil and it just cracks me up knowing this is probably his first car and its bone stock and he probably doesnt even know anyone with a 347 to compare it to. yes I totally agree this forum is for posting questions and learning thats the whole reason I came here cause i had some tranny problems and I googled it and it sent me here...not only did I get pointed in the right direction to build my tranny stronger but these a holes forced me into spending about 10 grand on parts to keep up with the beefed up tranny I built and now its turned into a pretty radical motor compared to what i was planning to do..(thanks guys you know who you are...LOL) but the people who dont know and dont have hands on experience should not act like they do and mislead people that are trying to learn....oh and one last thing I am pretty sure but not positive he does not have hyperteunic sp? pistons...sorry if you felt like i was attacking you but i wasnt trying to I was just letting him know to ask around and get good info cause there is a ton of "professionals" with bone stock cars giving advice on here

[fogged306]

He does have hypers unless he has changed them at some point. After 92 they stopped putting forged pistons in 5.0L engines.

[95StangMX]

yeah? I thought they only did it in 93 and went back but wasnt sure

[The Novice]

Yeah i hear ya man, i will def. take that into consideration. No worries, we were both venting, im over it. And we are both sorry so no worries and its in the past, and i realize you werent attacking me so we are straight.

Yeah im pritty sure the only Mustang after the 92 5.0's to have Forged internals are the 03-04 Cobra's. Im 90% sure If anyone knows let us know.

Btw 95StangMX How close until your driving that bad boy then? Hopefully soon? Keep us updated, love the paint though! Nice Stang.

[stangfreak]

i was in the same position. my decision, i sold the 95 to get another fox
